For the ozone singlet, the ASMs (not shown) are zero. for the chemical reaction H, + F < H + HF. The computed results show the unpaired electron resides mainly on the F atom and the H-H bond is of higher order than the H-F bond in this transition state. The SBO of the middle H atom is 1.11. Because the SBO of the middle H atom is also approximately one in the reactant (ie., H, molecule) and product (ie., HF molecule) states, this demonstrates an approximate (but not exact) conservation of total bond order along the reaction path. In the middle is shown the Na; cluster. Because of the Jahn-Teller effect,'*? this molecule forms an isosceles rather than an equi- lateral triangle. This triangle has two longer sides of bond order 0.22 and one shorter side of bond order 0.56. The computed results show the unpaired electron resides mainly on the Na atom that is farther from the other two Na atoms. On the right is shown the ozone singlet, which has significant multi-reference character. The bond order between the inner and outer oxygen atoms is 1.44. The bond order between the two outer oxygen atoms is 0.09. These three triatomic systems demonstrate the diversity of exchange-correlation methods that can be used to generate electron and spin density information used in DDEC6 analysis. The HF transition state was computed using a coupled-cluster method (ie., CCSD). The Na; cluster was computed using a dispersion-corrected density functional approximation (i.e., PBE+D3). The ozone singlet was computed using the complete active space self-consistent field (CAS-SCF) method, which is appropriate for studying multi-reference systems.
